18(1)Where section 38 above does not apply to a man of the Territorial Army—

(a)he shall during the first year of his original enlistment be subject to any requirements as to preliminary training provided for under section 40 above in the same way as a man of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force and he shall attend the number of drills and fulfil the other conditions prescribed for a recruit of his arm or branch of the Territorial Army accordingly;

(b)he shall by way of annual training be trained for not less than 8 or more than 15 days (or, for the mounted branch, 18 days) in every year at such times and at such places within the United Kingdom as may be prescribed, and may for that purpose be called out once or more often in every year.

(2)A man mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) above shall (subject to the provisions of this paragraph) attend the number of drills and fulfil the other conditions relating to training prescribed for his arm or branch of the Territorial Army.

(3)The requirements of this paragraph as to annual training may be dispensed with in whole or in part—

(a)as respects any unit of the Territorial Army, by the prescribed general officer, and

(b)as respects an individual man of the Territorial Army, by his commanding officer subject to any general directions of the prescribed general officer.

(4)Her Majesty may by Order in Council made in relation to any man of the Territorial Army to whom this paragraph applies direct—

(a)that the period of annual training in any year shall be extended to such period not exceeding 30 days as may be specified in the Order; or

(b)that the period of annual training in any year shall be reduced to such period as to Her Majesty may seem fit, or

(c)that the annual training in any year shall be dispensed with.
